Liverpool suffered another blow to their title hopes on Monday night as they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United at the London Stadium.
Jurgen Klopp's side missed the chance to restore their five-point lead at the top of the table and have now won just two of their six games across all competitions since the turn of the year.
The Reds will know that they cannot afford any more slip-ups heading into Saturday's match against Bournemouth, although their plight has been affected by a string of injuries, particularly in defence.
Klopp will be hopeful that those problems are beginning to clear up now, and the return of some key players cannot come soon enough.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news ahead of this weekend's home game with Bournemouth.
